Homeward bound and the way it's written...

Hello from Club GAH!

We're currently reverse-embarking from our two-week jaunt to the Northeastern US of A, and we'll be making our descent into the Greater St. Louis Metro area tomorrow night. Are we looking for a simple "Welcome back!"? Well sure, that's always nice, but more than that, we want to see your lovely faces...

*Tomorrow Night*

*At The Firebird*

*Right before the indomitable CURSIVE takes the stage*




Please come out to see us, give us a hug, buy a grocery bag or a cookbook (because we sell those now; GAH dickies coming soon!), and then readjust yourself for a warm-hearted and good-natured face-melting, courtesies of Omaha's indie-scene forefathers, CURSIVE, who are on tour supporting their new record, Mama, I'm Swollen. Honestly, it just wouldn't be right to miss this show.

See you tomorrow. Say 'Hi' to ya mutha for us.

Cheers,
Steve | GAH

Some overdue (and now kinda outdated) pictures, courtesies of Mr. Herbst...

Yea Big goes horizontal at Beat Kitchen...


Late night dinering...


Stefen says "Miso happy"...


From the backseat it looked like Stephen was getting it on...


Wide load...



Not knowing when enough is enough...


From before we left: If practice makes perfect, we must not have practiced enough...

hey, same-coat-wearing guy, f%$k you!

greetings from d.c. we just finished our extended weekend in new york. we did this: odd show with old friend who sounded GREAT, face time with people we love and never see, rush hour u-turn on 6 lane queensboro bridge, gelato, awesome ''house show'' in sweaty midtown apartment, late night diner food, shopping, robot buying, wrestling the house kit, cherry pie with best friend, central park, natural history museum, dollar pool, spaghetti fest, good show with sound guy named jesus and door guy named elijah, new jersey detour to a favorite place, parallel parking miracles, crazy bike ride, angering the locals, being angered by the locals, embracing a dog who just ate my wheat thins, feeling bad for him after he ralphed them up, trying to convey that skinny jeans will never be okay, missing home, appreciating each other, paying too much for everything, doing some rock-solid impressions, pointing to the guy who has ''it.'' -ee

april showers bring...?

welp, we are a week into this trip and we have finally parted ways with the constant drizzle that has dogged us thus far. today in new york is gorgeous. we've been a bit behind on the blogging, but we've been busy goofing off/playing shows. we have a new word. ask stephen what ''agleing'' is and i'm sure he'd be happy to show you. he's at the top of his game when he's agleing steve. and let me state here that i certainly question the spelling of this word, but it is his word and the definition is wonderful. anyway, shows have been good. pictures to come. saw friends. played with friends. made friends. this has been our happiest tour in quite a while. plus we've met many new dogs who we have wrestled with. and oddly, the last two nights have included bands repeatedly apologizing on stage for their performances. last night even included some bizarre girlfriend/lead singer yelling match during the songs. oh, and they had backing tracks PLUS a tamborine player onstage. yet another reason drugs are bad. anyway, no ''return'' button, so in order to prevent textual clumping i will say good day. hope to see you soon. -ee
